Successful Strokes, a Realistic Guide to Creating a Lucrative Massage Business shares my personal story of setting up my massage practice and learning about business through trial and error with over 30 years of experience.

The book is written in a very informal, friendly style sharing marketing tips and strategies, how to set up and manage finances, good uses of down time, how to structure a workable schedule and discuss many of the unique situations that arise in this career. Everyone’s story is a little different and there’s a lot to be learned by seeing many different ways to approach this career so each person can find the path that works best for them.

Please sign up for my newsletter and I’ll send you a free relaxation recording called “Brief Recharge”. This is an 8 minute guided relaxation designed to help you recharge between clients. Often we know we “should” meditate or relax more but we just don’t take the time do it. This will really help. And hey, it’s only 8 minutes (but 8 very blissful minutes).

In my newsletter I share business tips and inspirations to help you with your massage practice. Thanks, Molly

Guided Visualization Recording

I have made a 20 minute recording to help you become successful from the inside out.

What I mean is that by letting my words guide you deeply inside yourself and imagining the details of your successful practice you will develop the attitude and feelings of a successful massage therapist. This becomes part of the personality that you project. It affects the decisions you make. It affects the way you treat your clients and the way you treat yourself. You know from other times in your life, when you were in just the right frame of mind, how easily and smoothly you were able to achieve the things you set out to do. Some people refer to this as “being on a roll’.

In my book, Successful Strokes, I give you lots of things you can do to build your practice, to market yourself, to let people know you’re there, to form alliances with other business people and members of your community. In addition to doing all the right things it’s just as important to get in the right mood. It all works together. This is how the recording works. It helps you feel ready. It helps you trust your gut.

I found in my own practice that using recordings that put me into a mentality of success really helped facilitate my taking all the necessary steps to get me there. That’s why I made one for you. You will find that it makes a difference. Listening to the recording is a perfect thing to do when you have some down time in your office. This is just a brief sample. The full recording can be found on iTunes. Just follow this link: http://tinyurl.com/sstrokes

I particularly enjoyed the friendly and approachable tone that Molly takes in her writing. You really feel like she cares about you and making your business successful. Her knowledge and accessibility make her a great author, particularly for the self-help variety of books. Successful Strokes offers insightful tips and tricks that a seasoned veteran of the massage business has learned along her own journey.
